Catelin Drey

Catelin Drey claimed victory in a tightly contested special election, flipping a seat in the Iowa Senate and breaking Republicans’ supermajority in the chamber. Catelin's winning campaign was just the latest overperformance for Iowa Democrats this year, where they’ve racked up wins even in districts that Trump won in 2024. Caitlin will bring a young mom’s perspective to Des Moines, where she’s committed to putting working families back at the forefront of Iowa politics after years of Republican policy failures that have made it increasingly difficult for parents to raise their kids in the state. 

• Founded a grassroots public policy initiative to help Iowa parents engage with their legislators
• Running against one of the most extreme MAGA state legislative candidates in the country
